A rocket is fired straight upward, starting from rest with an acceleration of

25.0 m/s2. It runs out of fuel at the end of 4.00 s and continues to coast

upward, reaching a maximum height before falling back to Earth. (a) Find the

rocket’s height when it runs out of fuel; (b) find the rocket’s velocity when it

runs out of fuel; (c) find the maximum height the rocket reaches; (d) find the

rocket’s velocity the instant before the rocket crashes into the ground; and

(e) find the total elapsed time from launch to ground impact.

A model rocket is fired vertically upward from rest. Its acceleration for the first three seconds is a(t)=96t, at which time the fuel is exhausted and it becomes a freely "falling" body. 1919 seconds later, the rocket's parachute opens, and the (downward) velocity slows linearly to −16 ft/s in 5 s. The rocket then "floats" to the ground at that rate. (a) Determine the position function s and the velocity function v(for all times t). v(t)=    if 0≤t≤3    ...

A rocket is fired vertically upward. At the instant it reaches an altitude of 1450 m and a speed of 265 m/s, it explodes into three equal fragments. One fragment continues to move upward with a speed of 292 m/s following the explosion. The second fragment has a speed of 396 m/s and is moving east right after the explosion. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the third fragment? Answer in units of m/s
